Adachi, a Japanese-inspired restaurant that opened Wednesday in Birmingham, serves a rotating selection of nigiri sushi and sashimi.

The restaurant in the former Ford-Peabody mansion, which was built in 1878 at 325 S. Old Woodward Ave., is led by Boston-based, James Beard award-winning restaurateur Michael Schlow of Schlow Restaurant Group, and local real estate developers Kenny Koza and Clint Mansour.

Executive Chef Lloyd Roberts will run the restaurant's kitchen, writing the "Japanese-inspired" rotating menu alongside Schlow with daily sushi and sashimi options, vegetarian offerings, small plates, and rice and noodle dishes, according to a news release. They'll serve classic Japanese dishes and some interpretations. The bar will stock sake, Japanese whiskey, beer, wine and cocktails, the release said.

The restaurant seats 65 in its dining room. More seats are at the bar and on a Japanese garden patio. The name Adachi, in fact, is an ode to the picturesque garden at the Adachi Museum of Art in Japan.

Adachi nabbed a bistro license from the city of Birmingham last year. It offers up to two each year — the other went to Whole Foods. The more limited liquor licenses go to concepts that the city believes will activate up-and-coming areas, and draw street traffic with outdoor seating and bustling atmospheres.
